But I do have to admit it is all made with nice solid wood which is great to work with. When
I started working on this DIY paint project
I never dreamt it would turn out as good as
it did.
Labour day came and went and the sunshine came along with
it. One of the pieces I worked on in the nice weather was this
cute little deco desk. I sprayed it with a 50% - 50% ASCP mix
of Old White & Pure White and lightly edge distressed it
before hand waxing.
I filled the original holes on the six drawers so I could pick what
ever size of fancy handles I wanted. The desk was all finished but
the drawers had to dry over night. I was so anxious to pick the
handles I pulled a whole basket from my stash and spread it out on
the bed. Of course when George comes to bed there has to be
something said, "what is going on here" and he emphasizes it like
Scott from The Canadian Pickers. Before you know it he is helping
me chose the right handles for the project. The knob on the middle
drawer is a new piece, it's a fun acrylic bead and rhinestone knob.
I don't think you can tell from the photos but it is quite large and
really pretty.
The handles were salvaged from the dresser vrs.
vehicle grudge match earlier this year.
